DINSMORE ROSE. 
HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 
In the list offered we believe that the range of color comprises all the distinct 
and really valuable shades. Many sorts have been left out, not because they are of 
no value in themselves, but that the sorts listed are superior in size, hardiness, vigor, 
productiveness, or some other characteristic that is necessary to make a good Rose. 
Most of these varieties are grown on their own roots. This class of stock gives 
much better satisfaction to the general planter than budded or grafted plants ; how- 
ever, some of the finest varieties will not lend themselves readily to this system of 
culture, and will not produce good plants on their own roots. In such cases we offer 
the best low-budded stock obtainable. Care should be taken, in planting budded stock, 
to set out deeply, planting them at least 2 inches below the point where budded, 
which prevents the stock from suckering to a very great extent.
